Match-Me Project: Cinephilia, Dating, and Relationship Development

funded by Mojitofilms GmbH

Principal Investigator IPU

Prof. Konrad Schnabel

Project Description

Classic personality traits (e.g. Big Five) are only partially suitable for predicting the emergence, development and design of romantic relationships. The attitudes of the people in the relationship towards each other as well as different value systems are much more central. Spontaneous behavior and self-reported interests in the context of the mojitofilms.com social media app provide a new and intuitive approach to relevant variables in the context of social dating and romantic love. Performative aspects and rather unconscious sympathies and antipathies are given special consideration. The project works at the interface between relationship research and application, integrating AI-supported qualitative and quantitative instruments.
